Just a bonus episode we'd thought we'd share!
Recently, John Palma, a friend of Frank's since 1988, stopped by for a visit and take in some Trenton. During John's visit to the capital city, the long time friends had some coffee at Slammin Brew then stopped for lunch at The Station Tapas & Bar. The trip would not be complete without a visit to the studio for an episode of Trenton Waves. No, Christina is not in this episode. Consider this your warning. This episode is riddled with inside jokes - references that only these 2 understand. However, it is nice to see how people can remain friends for years without ever skipping a beat.
